Atlus has announced a release date for Metaphor: ReFantazio – October 11. The reveal came during a showcase where additional details about the game’s story, world, and gameplay were shared.
The game immerses players in a world in chaos following the assassination of the king, with various factions vying for the throne. A “royal magic” determines the next ruler, compelling players to garner support as the protagonist.
Gameplay features a combination of real-time attacking and dodging alongside turn-based battles. While not strictly open-world, exploration is emphasized with a focus on Gauntlet Runners, machines facilitating travel across the game’s world.
Time management is crucial, with main quests carrying set time limits, akin to Persona games. Side quests impact the time available for main objectives but offer valuable rewards and challenging battles.
The showcase provided only a glimpse of what Metaphor: ReFantazio has in store, with Atlus teasing future announcements. For those wanting to learn more, Atlus’ showcase offers a comprehensive overview.
